PRICED LESS THAN A NEW INSTRUMENT 3. IN MOST CASES IT WILL PLAY FAR BETTER THAN A NEW INSTRUMENT “THEY DON’T MAKE ‘EM LIKE THEY USED TO!!” YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND METAL USED IN A TRUE VINTAGE KING TROMBONE! Vintage King trombones far out perform the new ones. Here’s you chance to own a great looking and playing professional trombone for way less than the price of a new one. THIS IS A GREAT TROMBONE FOR JAZZ, SYMPHONY OR ALL-AROUND PLAYING! The guys that really knew how to build horns at the original H.N. White Company plant in Cleveland, OH crafted this fine trombone. INCLUDES A LARGE SHANK MOUTHPIECE AND A CASE This is not your standard used instrument. Restoration includes old finish chemically stripped off, completely taken apart, dents removed, carefully reassembled, carefully polished and your choice of finishes applied. It will look and play great! The restoration is done by a respected local shop with over 40 years experience in woodwind and brass instrument restorations and repairs. Some of their employees worked at the H.N. White and King factories in Cleveland and Eastlake, Ohio. One employee started working at the HN White Company in 1957! I have personally used this company for over 10 years for my adult band members and myself. I had this shop overhaul and silver plate my “baby” – a 1971 Besson professional euphonium and for me that’s like trusting someone to operate on your kid. (I’ve had the horn longer than my kids!) It really looks great and actually plays better than when I bought it new in college. THIS TROMBONE WILL REALLY LOOK AND PLAY GREAT!! This King 5B trombone has an 9” brass bell and a .547” bore and features nickel silver outer slide tubes for superior slide action. The King 5B is a symphonic model professional trombone using a large shank mouthpiece. PUT THAT BACH OR CONN ON THE SHELF AND EXPERIENCE THE FANTASTIC TONE, RESPONSE AND SLIDE ACTION OF A GENUINE KING TROMBONE!! This could be the only trombone you need! It is an extremely versatile instrument. The 5B produces a nice full warm tone, but can be as bright as you need when pushed. With a 6-1/2AL or similar mouthpiece you can do anything from solo to 3rd trombone concert or symphonic work. A 4 or 5G size takes advantage of the 9" bell yielding a large, warm tone that is great for solo or symphonic playing. If 3rd parts are your thing, a 1-1/2G bass trombone mouthpiece allows you to really bang out the low notes! The King 5B is an outstanding all around trombone for solo and concert band or symphonic work. King trombones have long been the choice of professional trombone players from Tommy Dorsey in the 1940’s and 1950's to legendary trombonists Urbie Green, Kai Winding, JJ Johnson and present day artists like Jiggs Whigham.

If I wouldn’t have it in my house, I won’t send it to yours! I’ve just collected too many instruments and other "horn stuff", between the community band that I direct (plus 3 others I play in – yes, I’m a little crazy!) and 2 kids that played in band in school. It’s time to “thin the herd”, so I’ll be listing some more instruments and “horn stuff” soon. UPDATE: Thanks to all who have bought “stuff from my closet”. This has gone so well, that I’ve opened an Ebay store and will be looking for nice items (mostly band instruments and “horn stuff”) to offer for sale on Ebay as well as selling for band members and friends.
